I didn’t know that about eggs. How long can one eat eggs before having to stay off them for 6-8 weeks again? Just till you get symptoms I’m guessing?

I was thinking of adding another shake and maybe a sandwich or two. I read last night about ezekial bread. Sounds like good stuff. If I could have sandwiches again I could eat more meat which is ideal.

Aside from that was thinking of adding frozen strawberries and coconut oil to those shakes. And maybe some cashews to mix wil my almonds and raisins.

283

Pretty much as you said, so until you get symptoms. I’d keep a log of when wthey appear and stop a bit before that

So if it takes you (on average) 20 weeks to get symptoms, I’d stop during week 19

Regarding the replacement, I’d go with something that has a lot of protein and fat (like eggs) but you need to remember that eggs contain various micronutrients along with the protein and fat

Makes sense.

And yeah, i love eggs, but my body doesn’t. Seems like the way things go lol.

I’m also adding corn tho. Hopefully it’s not bad but it is a grain.

I decided against the frozen strawberries because there are next to no calories in a full cup and they’re expensive.

As for those micronutrients, any suggestions on good replacements for those?

285

There are some suggestions behind this link

As you may see, eggs are awesome

Haven’t had time to view that link. Will do soon tho.

Today was core day. I want to add more exercises that really destroy my core. I’m thinking the plank makes sense.

Leg Lowering Drill (5 sets):

This is an awesome workout.

Under 100 grams of protein and probably under 1600 calories a day?

Is this getting you where you want to be?

Lol, how do you figure?

290

This list of foods is under 100 grams of protein and probably in the ballpark of 1400-1700 calories

291

Really? My calculations (based off of reading the labels and weighing the food) came out to be higher.

Having said that, I’ve added more stuff because I’m definitely seeing weight loss.

It’s hard to find foods that I can eat and that are worth it in terms of calories and/or protein and time to prepare/eat. I’m mostly eating more nuts and milk.

292

I am adding/estimating like this:

Egg: 6 grams/egg

Milk: 8 grams/cup

Protein powder: 30 grams per scoop, on the high end

Black beans: 14 grams/cup

Brown (I assumed pinto) beans: 7 grams per cup

1 can of tuna: this varies but the largest can I’ve seen sold other than commercial variants has 33 grams of protein in a can

So, 112 assuming certain things in your favor. Seems low.

In all reality you should put more effort into cooking. If you won’t, then eating the tuna/bean/rice meal 3 times a day and reducing to 2 shakes without the eggs could be sufficient.

I don’t have a stove, so cookiung is out of the question. I’ll re-work the numbers today and post my complete diet as soon as I can. Really busy these days however. Another reason why cooking is out of the question.

294

If you truly feel that cooking is out of the question; training, progressing, posting on forums, watching/participating any sort of media, and any sleep past 4 hours should be out of the question as well.
Cars cannot run without gas. Using poor quality fuel and not keeping upon basic maitence will cause issues with the performance of the vehicle.
Training doesn’t need to be a priority for you. Neither does diet. But if you ever ask about how to improve, the diet will be the first place most point.

I am doing my diet. Like I said I’ll post it later.

EDIT:

Ok. I got it. You were right brady888, adding one more “Rice and Beans” meal was the key, so thank you!

Here’s my diet:

Protein Shake (2 a Day):

2 cups 3% Milk: 320 Cals 16g Protein 16g Fat 0g Fibre 250mg Sodium

1 Scoop Pea Protein: 120 cals 24.6g Protein 1.8g Fat 1.2g Fibre 309mg Sodium

½ Banana: 52.5 cals 0.65g Protein 0.3g Fat 1.55g Fibre 0.6mg Sodium

Rice (3 a Day):

1 Cup White Rice: 205 cals 4.2g Protein 0.4g Fat 0.6g Fibre 1.6mg Sodium

½ Cup Brown Beans: 135 cals 7g Protein 0.75g Fat 5.5g Fibre 290mg Sodium

½ Cup Corn: 80 cals 3g Protein 0g Fat 2g Fibre 0mg Sodium

½ Tin Tuna: 70 cals 16g Protein 1g Fat 0g Fibre 190mg Sodium

OR

100g Deli Meat: 91 cals 16g Protein 1g Fat 0g Fibre 709mg Sodium

1 Cup 3% Milk: 160 cals 8g Protein 8g Fat 0g Fibre 125mg Sodium

1 Cup Cranberry Juice: 140 cals 0g Protein 0g Fat 0g Fibre 10mg Sodium

Trail Mix:

25g Almonds: 144.75 cals 5.25g Protein 12.5g Fat 13.25g Fibre 0.35g Sodium

25g Raisins: 74.75 cals 0.75g Protein 0g Fat 1g Fibre 2.75mg Sodium

TOTALS: 2974.5 cals 187.1g Protein 63.15g Fat 44.05g Fibre 4259.1mg Sodium

The only thing I’ll have to watch is the sodium which will be very high on the days I eat deli meat with the beans (like over 4000mg potentially)

297

Why pea protein?

If you don’t have a condition it’s fine

Pea Protein? A few reasons:

  1. I’m trying to mitigate diary (yeah I know, 5 cups a day isn’t mitigating. it’s the best I could do)
  2. It’s cheap

As for salt, my grandpa actually had to get a opacemaker because his heart was giving out. Too much sodium they told him. So I’m not taking any chances.

Interesting, here whey is 9-10€/kg while pea protein is almost 16€/kg

That’s what they always say but they may be right in some cases, so maybe it’s better to run it safe

You’re in the uk? If so it could be because you guys have to import them maybe? I dunno. I live in canada.

Yeah it’;s crazy. My grandpa got very frail but after his operation he’s like back 100%. I can’t even tell he went through that. It’s amazing what they can do with medical technology for people.

And yeah, I prefer to play it safe, especially with heart stuff.

Finland, it may be, I’m not exactly an expert on this stuff

That’s very true

That’s probably the smartest way to go
